Meditations on Malcolm

I’ve been thinking about Malcolm X lately.

He was such an eloquent speaker, always able to get to the heart of things. There’s a video clip I’ve posted on Substack of him discussing what it means to say out loud what has happened to Black people in this country and how simply naming those truths gets twisted into accusations of hatred or division. The thinking seems to be that if you speak plainly about the reality of anti-Blackness, you must hate white people or hate America.

I’ve always thought that framing was childish. But I’ve come to realize many people genuinely see the world that way. When Black people speak honestly about racism or call out regions of the country that are historically dangerous for us, white people often interpret that as a personal attack, like we’re calling their family or friends bad people. They can't distinguish between systemic critique and individual blame.

Black Americans have long been forced to live in duality. We've had no choice but to engage with white people throughout our lives, from slavery through the present. In doing so, we’ve been trained, conditioned even, to see the humanity in white people, to understand that systems of oppression aren’t always about individual actors. We’ve learned to disassociate the personal from the structural. Listen to the full piece here: sharidunn.substack.com

Shari, I was really struck by one of your musings at the end of your Malcom X Substack the other day: The idea that people of color and other marginalized folks have developed “some kind of intellectual duality” or ability that allows and enables them to process and recognize white supremacy and other inequity separate from individuals, and thus a buffer between seeing something as a systemic problem vs “hate” and a personalized affront. A missing lens, not just a blind spot. A muscle that a lot of white folks have not just not flexed, or built, but that they don’t even recognize. I think there is a LOT to that and if you run across (or create) more content around that, I would personally love to hear more.
